"We play three super important games in six days, I hate thinking about the game after the one in front of us but, in our situation, we cannot ignore the fact," Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports when asked why Mohamed Salah would start the Fulham game on the bench.
"We have to make changes to get fresh legs in, to use the squad. It’s the best situation we’ve had squad-wise all year, that’s why we do it.
"We need them all, they will either start or come on, that’s the situation and I don’t know what’s more important, to be honest, both are super important.
"We need to be here 100 percent for 95 minutes and we need them all."
Salah is still likely to come on for the second half, especially if Liverpool will be in search of goals.
Other first-team regulars left on the bench are Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate and Darwin Nunez.
